Starting a Kitchen Makeover

Sharing is caring!

Where to start?  How much to spend?  What are the priorities?  What color?  These are just a few questions to ask before beginning.

Our kitchen really hadn’t been touched in about 10 years except just some new accessories and trying to change out the table and chairs.

• A new floor was a must
• Get rid of popcorn ceiling
• New light fixtures
• Paint walls
• Paint cabinets ??? Not now
• New blinds
• New hardware for cabinets
• Counter tops – something had to be done
• Appliances – still in the thinking stage, except a new hood
• New sink and faucet was the first priority
• Glass tile back splash

Thanks to Moen for my new sink and faucet.  After some painting and working on the counter tops, these will finally get installed.How I would love new granite counter tops, it just wasn’t in the budget.  I was introduced to a new product at Haven from Kitchen’s Redefined this year.  Painted Paper Countertops.  It’s almost like decoupaging your counter tops.  I chose a darker gray, marble look.  More details on this product soon.

I have loved my apple green, using accents of black and red, but ready for a more neutral look.  Keeping the dark oak cabinets and doing white walls.  There’s not really a lot of wall space, but this will be so much lighter.

First job complete was scraping the popcorn ceiling off – full post will follow.  Messy job .  This will be covered with Brewster’s Paintable Wallcovering which looks like beadboard.Painting has started.  

Watch for updates soon along with a list of all products and how I used them.
